Drunks, addicts and wronguns?

[Cebor]

Not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but I've just been told that this industry is full of drunks, addicts and wronguns so wondered if anyone wanted to comment on that? 😂

 

*Not an arborist myself but I do have a real appreciation for the craft and thought this comment was absurd so figured I'd go find out the truth myself lol*

Yup, guess that must be so, a bloke down the pub told me so.

I’m not in the industry, my experience is, where there are  ’gangs’ of young work lads/men there will always be going’s on.

This is a very good and fair point!

You’ll probably find as many drunk addict lawyers as you will tree surgeons. Wrong ‘uns on the other hand… 😀

Oh man that is such a good point, a lot of high flyers do love their coke 😳

With all the drug testing that goes on these days, don’t ask how I know, it’s getting less and less. That doesn’t stop a gang in Mrs Miggins garden having a joint or two at break time.

You'll find more in the 'House of Commons'

Couldn't do this job without them.

 

Can't get to the top of a stepladder when I'm straight but a spoonful of running shoes in my morning coffee, I can climb anything, SuperArbman.

Likewise, there's no way I'd take an overloaded timber trailer back to base without a few toots first, as long as you 'look' relaxed when the feds check you out it means you're legal.

And when the 3.5t trailer has 6t chip in it wallowing side to side, being marginally drunk means you sway enough to counteract it, you're bulletproof safe that way.

 

At the weekend though you really have to kick the arse out of it to forget all the sore bits.

 

It's actually a fact that the government wouldn't allow anyone to do tree work until mind altering substances were available.
